I wonder what it would be like to be blind. Forever trapped in lasting world of darkness. Shut away from the world.
But lets think about this more shall we?
A blind person doesn't see the world, they feel it.
Can you imagine what it would be like to lay next to your lover and purely feel their body? Every little crease and indent. Not looking at them. Not seeing the little flaws, just feeling them, their body. Can you hear it living? Can you hear their heart beating? Can you feel them breathe?
Can you imagine not knowing what you look like? Theres no such thing as looking the mirror and going the rest of your day feeling worthless and ashamed because of the person that stared back at you through the glass. Can you imagine what it would be like to never be physically self conscious of yourself? We are, after all, our own worst enemies.
Can you imagine not judging the world? The sweet man that came up to you this morning and said you were beautiful, why not have a cup of coffee with him? Who cares if he's the ugliest thing in the world, because you honestly can't see that. You can't see his flaws, you can just feel his heartbeat when he holds you in his arms. The way he looks doesn't matter, because you can't see him, you can only feel him, the way he's good to you. The way he will always be good to you. How many more friends would you have if you didn't judge them based on the way they looked in that little black dress or the green polo? Can you imagine not seeing the world for what it looks like, but for what it is?
Sometimes I think that the world would be better off blind.
